Electrical takeoff and estimating support
BidAccurate provides electrical estimating services for electrical contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, general contractors, developers, and estimating teams across the United States. We review the bid documents to quantify Division 26 electrical work and organize it for pricing, procurement, scope review, and bid submission.
Each electrical material takeoff can connect one-line diagrams, power and lighting plans, panel and fixture schedules, details, specifications, and addenda. Communications, fire alarm, security, controls, and other specialty systems are included or separated only as the agreed scope requires, with assumptions and exclusions kept visible.
Every estimate is scoped from the electrical drawings, one-lines, schedules, specifications, details, addenda, alternates, bid forms, and responsibility notes supplied. Inclusions and measurement methods can be tailored for an electrical contractor, supplier, general contractor, developer, or internal estimating team.
Major equipment is coordinated across one-line diagrams, plans, schedules, specifications, and vendor packages for a reviewable distribution scope.
Branch systems are measured by wiring method, conductor configuration, pathway, device, and drawing location when that information is available.
Counts and circuiting can be reconciled between lighting plans, reflected ceiling plans, schedules, details, and control requirements.
Supporting work is kept visible so the electrical package reflects installation conditions and interfaces shown in the bid documents.
Pricing assumptions and adjacent systems are identified rather than blended into an unexplained lump sum.
Each material and activity uses an appropriate bid unit, with source references, allowances, exclusions, and estimating assumptions documented.
Share the current plans, specifications, addenda, project location, bid deadline, vendor quotes, and pricing inputs. We will review the documents and confirm the takeoff, estimate, and deliverable structure.
Request Your Electrical Takeoff
A coordinated review connects one-lines, plans, schedules, details, specifications, addenda, and adjacent-discipline documents so system limits and responsibilities remain visible.
Organized counts, lengths, assemblies, and labor extensions reduce manual takeoff time and leave your team more room for vendor outreach and bid strategy.
Material lists and equipment schedules help suppliers quote comparable fixtures, gear, raceways, conductors, devices, controls, and accessories.
Checks for fittings, boxes, supports, terminations, grounding, controls, testing, temporary work, equipment connections, and system interfaces help surface commonly missed items.
Color-coded plan markups, system summaries, drawing references, and written assumptions make quantities and pricing easier to trace, check, and revise.
Your supplier quotes, labor units, crew rates, material prices, equipment costs, waste factors, cost codes, and estimate template can be used when supplied.
Electrical pricing depends on coordinated systems, measured pathways, equipment schedules, installation labor, and clearly assigned responsibilities. Our workflow keeps those inputs visible from takeoff through final review.
We coordinate one-lines, power and lighting plans, panel and fixture schedules, details, specifications, addenda, and relevant architectural and mechanical information.
Quantities can be grouped by service, distribution, feeder, branch, lighting, controls, grounding, site work, floor, area, phase, or another agreed bidder structure.
Labor units, crew rates, productivity adjustments, supervision, working heights, phasing, overtime, and special conditions are documented when included.
Marked drawings, source references, alternates, allowances, exclusions, vendor coverage, and assumptions help estimators review the bid with context.
Excel and PDF outputs can follow your assemblies, cost codes, bid items, buildings, floors, systems, estimate template, or purchasing workflow.
When revised documents are submitted, affected circuits, equipment, devices, quantities, and related scope can be compared for an agreed estimate update.
A defined workflow moves the project from document intake and system scoping through measurement, pricing, cross-document review, and delivery in a format your team can audit.
Send electrical plans, one-lines, schedules, specifications, addenda, bid form, project location, bid deadline, and relevant architectural or mechanical documents.
We align on included systems, Division 27 and 28 boundaries, alternates, allowances, labor basis, vendor quotes, pricing inputs, and reporting requirements.
Equipment and devices are counted; raceways, conductors, cable, tray, and grounding are measured; fittings, supports, terminations, and installation activities are developed.
When a cost estimate is requested, confirmed material prices, vendor quotations, labor units or crew assumptions, equipment, and agreed indirect costs are applied.
The takeoff is checked across one-lines, plans, schedules, details, and specifications while gaps, conflicts, alternates, exclusions, and assumptions are recorded.
You receive the agreed Excel or PDF estimate, material and labor summaries, scope notes, and color-coded drawing markups organized for bid review or purchasing.
Send the current document set and tell us whether you need quantities only, labor and material pricing, vendor-quote integration, or a complete electrical estimate.

Practical electrical estimating outputs
Use the package to obtain supplier quotations, compare gear and fixture coverage, review labor assumptions, plan purchasing, reconcile alternates, or transfer quantities into your estimating system. Deliverables are organized to the agreed level of detail and do not replace electrical design, engineering calculations, or permit documents.
Counts and measured lengths for gear, raceways, conductors, cable, boxes, devices, fixtures, controls, grounding, supports, fittings, and agreed specialty systems.
Material, labor, equipment, vendor quotes, and agreed indirect costs extended from the confirmed pricing basis and installation assumptions.
Marked electrical plans showing measured systems, devices, circuits, pathways, equipment, areas, and relevant scope boundaries for review.
Inclusions, exclusions, alternates, allowances, drawing references, quote coverage, and unresolved scope conditions collected in one reviewable package.
